Ordered the city to be opened and led Lu Bu's army into Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Lu Bu rode to the city together, and after a few steps, his eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up and said to Lu Bu: "A certain is about to be in a different place, please wait to save a certain person!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei turned over and jumped off the horse, stood in front of Lu Bu's horse with his fists folded, bowed down to Lu Bu and said, "The Cao army has already arrived at the city of Xuzhou, and the people in the city are also in a panic. How can a certain virtue dare to sit in Xuzhou? Wen Hou has come here, and Xu will be given to Wen Hou today! ”

"Someone!" As he spoke, Liu Bei really turned around and shouted to a personal soldier behind him: "Go and get the Xuzhou Mu Dayin!" ”

The pro-soldier responded, and just turned around to get the big seal of Xuzhou Mu, Zhang Fei, who was standing behind Liu Bei, glared at him viciously.

was glared at by Zhang Fei, and the pro-soldier was immediately stunned and didn't dare to move again.

Lu Bu, who was riding on horseback, saw this scene, how could he not know that Liu Bei was acting to show him.

He hurriedly turned over and jumped off the war horse, took Liu Bei's hands, and said to Liu Bei very sincerely: "I was driven out of Luoyang by the king of Luoyang, and I was very down, and when I arrived in Xuzhou, fortunately, the emperor's uncle was willing to take him in." Uncle Huang is kind, how dare he? A certain person came here just for one thing, that is, to cooperate with the emperor's uncle to guard Xuzhou and prevent Cao Jun from entering Xuzhou for half a step! ”

"Wen Hou ......" held hands with Lu Bu, Liu Bei's eyes were filled with tears, and he said to Lu Bu: "There is Wen Hou in Xuzhou, so why be afraid?" ”

The two held hands and stared at each other, and after a long while, they both raised their faces and laughed.

Lu Bu smiled happily, but Liu Bei laughed because he had just cried, but his expression was very ugly.

defeated Mi Zhu and Mi Fang in one fell swoop, Guo Jia learned that Xiahou Yuan had killed more than 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers, and he was speechless for a long time.

ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead the army to engage the Xuzhou army head-on, considering that Xiahou Yuan was brave and had few opponents on the battlefield.

The Xuzhou army led by Mi Zhu and Mi Fang was not only inferior in number to the Cao army under Guo Jia, but even the generals and the generals of the Cao army were not the same.

There was not much suspense in this battle, but Guo Jia never expected that Xiahou Yuan would kill more than 10,000 Xuzhou troops because he wanted to avenge Cao Song.

If the more than 10,000 Xuzhou troops had not been killed, but they had been incorporated and fully utilized, the resistance of the Xuzhou side would have been much weaker.

But killing these Xuzhou troops, although it can have a psychological deterrent effect on the Xuzhou soldiers, it will also make their morale skyrocket due to fear.

After all, only when fear is extreme but there is no way back can the strongest sense of resistance in people's hearts be stimulated.

Xiahou Yuan's impulsive move made Guo Jia begin to consider whether he should suggest to Cao Cao, and lead the army back to Xuchang, and after some time, re-attack Xuzhou.

After being stationed in the area of Mount Tai for several days, Guo Jia finally waited for Cao Cao to lead the army to arrive.

I haven't seen Cao Cao for many days, and Guo Jia was stunned for a moment as soon as he saw Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was much thinner than when Guo Jia and Xiahoudun led the army to leave Xuchang earlier, and the whole person also looked much more dry, obviously Cao Song was killed, and the blow to him was very heavy.

"Bonghyo!" Riding on horseback, Guo Jia, who came to greet him, approached, and Cao Cao greeted him weakly.

"Ming Gong!" Holding his fists and bowing, he saluted Cao Cao, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "I haven't seen you for many days, how can Ming Gong lose so much weight?" ”

"Every time I think about my father being killed, my heart is like a knife!" Raising his eyes and looking ahead, Cao Cao sighed for a long time, then lowered his head again, looked at Guo Jia standing in front of the horse and said: "If it weren't for Fengxiao to defeat the Xuzhou army in one fell swoop, I don't know when I would be able to break through Xuzhou ......."

"Now is not the best time to break through Xuzhou." Before Cao Cao's words were finished, Guo Jia lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment before he said to Cao Cao: "After this defeat, the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou must have hated Ming Gong to the core, and if our army continues to advance, I am afraid that it will be extremely strongly blocked." According to what the subordinates can see, Ming Gong should retire! ”

"Retirement?" Cao Cao turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened, he looked at Guo Jia who was standing next to his war horse, frowned tightly and said, "Could it be that Feng Xiao thinks that the old father's revenge should not be avenged?" ”

"Report! I want to report it! Looking up at Cao Cao, Guo Jia said to him: "The person that the Ming Duke wants to kill is none other than Tao Qian's family, and what he wants to attack Xuzhou is to merge Xuzhou into the rule of the Ming Gong!" The two are not to be confused! ”

"If you don't break through Xuzhou, how can you kill Tao Qian's family?" Knowing that Guo Jia wanted him to withdraw from the army, Cao Cao's face turned pale, and he asked Guo Jia: "What does Feng Xiao think he should do to kill the Tao Qian family, if the soldiers are not bloody, I am willing to listen to Feng Xiao's words!" ”

"Right now, Liu Bei has just occupied Xuzhou, and the Duke of Ming only needs to order someone to meet Liu Bei secretly and inform him that he only wants to take the lives of Tao Qian's family, and with Liu Bei's temperament, he should retire from the army of the Duke of Ming, and sacrifice Tao Qian's body and relatives!" clasped his hands into fists and arched towards Cao Cao, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "It's just that Liu Bei, a villain in the womb, wants to pretend to be a humble gentleman on his face, if the Ming Duke orders someone to go and talk to him directly, he will definitely be refused." If you want to succeed, you have to plan with both hands! ”

"What's a two-handed plan?" From Guo Jia's words, he could hear that he could get Tao Qian's relatives, and a touch of light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes in an instant, but he didn't directly guess Guo Jia's thoughts, but said to him: "How can Feng Xiao make a decision, but please say it!" ”

"Make one person go to contact Liu Bei and persuade him to dedicate Xuzhou!" Looking up at Cao Cao, who was still riding on horseback, Guo Jia said to him: "I want Jiang Gan to accompany him, secretly meet Liu Bei, and inform him that Ming Gong only wants to get the lives of Tao Qian's family, and does not plan to plot Xuzhou ......"

"Good!" As soon as Guo Jia's words were finished, Cao Cao suddenly slapped his thigh and said to him: "Those who know my heart, Feng Xiao!" ”

"I'll wait for the account to be discussed!" first praised Guo Jia, Cao Cao turned over and jumped off the horse, the whole person seemed to be in a lot of spirits, took Guo Jia's hand, greeted everyone behind him, and walked towards the handsome tent that had already been set up for him.

Entering the tent, as soon as everyone sat down in order, Cao Cao looked around at everyone and asked Guo Jia: "In the spirit of filial piety, who will be ordered to contact that Liu Bei this time?" ”

"Return to Ming Gong!" Holding his hands into fists and kneeling in the tent, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Zhongde is good at contacting people, so he can go and persuade Liu Bei to sacrifice Xuzhou; Ziyi is resourceful and good at observing words and feelings, and can secretly negotiate with Liu Bei to capture Tao Qian's family and dedicate it to Ming Gong! ”

Having said this, Guo Jia turned his head to look at Cheng Yu, who was kneeling beside him, and said to Cheng Yu with a little apology in his tone: "It's just that Zhongde is going to suffer more grievances this time!" ”

"If you can repay the revenge of the public, you will suffer some grievances, what can you do!" first smiled at Guo Jia and responded, and then Cheng Yu hugged his fists and said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong, the plan of filial piety is definitely feasible, and I am willing to go." ”

When Cheng Yu showed his heart to Cao Cao, although his identity was humble, Jiang Gan, who had successfully rebelled against Lu Bu and now had some status in Cao's army, hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and bowed to Cao Cao and said: "Ming Gong has an expulsion, and he will not give up his death!" ”

Looking at Cheng Yu and Jiang Gan, Cao Cao raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, and muttered for a moment before saying to the two: "Liu Bei is a treacherous and cunning person, but he is a hero in the world, and the two of you have to be careful when you contact him." ”

"Thank you Ming Gong for mentioning it!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Cheng Yu and Jiang Gan both thanked Cao Cao.

From Cao Cao's expression, he had already seen the hope of retreating, and Guo Jia also had an indifferent smile on his face.

At present, if Cao's army storms Xuzhou, although it can finally achieve victory, the price of victory is extremely huge.

Lu Bu and Liu Bei are entrenched in Xuzhou for a generation, and one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, but now that Cao Jun's soldiers are coming to the city, they will let these two tigers temporarily have less internal fighting, and show their fangs to Cao Jun.

If Cao Jun gave up Xuzhou for the time being, he would advance by retreating, and wait until Lu Bu and Liu Bei turned against each other, and then turned back again.

First, the impact of Xiahou Yuan's massacre of the Xuzhou army will be much eliminated at that time, and second, Xuzhou will definitely consume a lot after internal fighting.

When Xuzhou's troops are seriously damaged, one of Lu Bu and Liu Bei has the upper hand, and Cao Cao waves his troops to kill again, and Xuzhou is at his fingertips.

Guo Jia set a plan for Cao Cao to win Tao Qian's family, and within a few days, the city of Xuzhou ushered in the envoy of Cao Jun.

The Cao army had the upper hand on the battlefield, and as the envoy of the Cao army, Cheng Yu was full of style, and when he entered Xuzhou, he did not dismount, and led the team directly to the direction of the Xuzhou government.

Cheng Yu is good at diplomacy, and he is also very low-key on weekdays, but at the moment, he did not carry forward his low-key style, but entered Xuzhou City with a high spirit.

This time, his task was not to persuade Liu Bei to really sacrifice Xuzhou, but to make this peace talks fail, at least on the surface, and the peace talks could not be reached.

Knowing that Cao Cao had sent an envoy, Liu Bei, who knew that Xuzhou was now in trouble and was afraid that he would not be able to hold it for long, did not dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu, Mi Fang brothers and others who had just fled back to Xuzhou, waiting outside the main gate of the official mansion.

Seeing Cheng Yu leading the envoy team towards the official mansion from a distance, Liu Bei hurriedly trotted up to meet him.

Seeing that Liu Bei looked anxious and talking to the envoy of Cao Jun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei furrowed their brows almost at the same time, although they were reluctant in their hearts, they still followed over.

Mi Zhu was wounded by an arrow before, although he has recovered a lot in the past two days, but his hatred for Cao Jun has not diminished at all, and he did not follow Liu Bei to greet Cheng Yu, but just stood outside the gate of the official mansion with Mi Fang and waited.

Running to Cheng Yu's horse, Liu Bei hugged his fists, raised his face and said to Cheng Yu: "Cheng Gong is here, I should have gone to the outside of the city to greet him, but there are many things in the city, and there are many rudenesses, and I hope Cheng Gong will forgive me!" ”

Cheng Yu on horseback did not dismount, but just arched at Liu Bei with his fists, which was regarded as a salute to him, and said in a very arrogant tone: "Pingyuan Ling is more polite!" ”
